The Glucose Never Lies® Podcast

Host John Pemberton — diabetes educator, researcher, and dad living with type 1 since 2008 — explores how to think clearly about type 1 diabetes in the real world.

Each episode translates current evidence and expert practice into decisions you can use: CGM accuracy and interpretation, getting more from pumps and automated insulin delivery, movement as a glucose tool, nutrition that protects performance and enjoyment, sleep, travel, parties, and sport.

Guests include leading clinicians, researchers, and people with lived experience. Expect respectful challenge, plain language, and practical take-aways.

Note: Educational only. No therapeutic relationship or personal medical advice.

What this podcast is all about

I’m John Pemberton — diabetes educator, researcher, and proud dad living with type 1 diabetes. The Glucose Never Lies® Podcast is where science, lived experience, and curiosity collide.

This series is for:

People with type 1 diabetes who want practical, evidence-based tools they can use every day.
Healthcare professionals looking for clear explanations and insights from the latest research.
Anyone curious about the future of diabetes care, technology, and self-management.

Each episode we’ll bring together top researchers, clinicians, and people living with diabetes to explore the big questions — from CGM accuracy and exercise strategies, to emerging therapies and the lived experience of diabetes.

Why “The Glucose Never Lies”?

Because glucose is the ultimate feedback signal. It tells us what’s happening in real time, whether we like it or not. Understanding and acting on that truth is how we move forward — in our health, and in diabetes science.
